Learning Development

Amazing training, tailor-made just for you.

The Benefit

Every organisation is different. You need training that fits your organisation’s culture and deals with the challenges that are specific to your business, your staff, your products and services, your clients, and your brand.

Custom development is the best way to ensure that you get a solution that is designed to perfectly meet your skills or knowledge requirements, no matter how complex or straightforward those requirements may be.

What We Do

Most of our projects over the years have been course and quiz developments using a mix of the solutions below. Our learning development team has some impressive talents, which allow us to offer a wide variety of solutions. These can be combined or requested individually as needed.

We develop highly engaging e-learning courses with just the right amount of interactivity to challenge learners and help them to apply their knowledge. By the way, clicking on next buttons does not count as interactivity.

Blended Learning

Digital and traditional learning are often seen as mutually exclusive. The truth is that a blend of the two is far more powerful than either format on its own. However, for a blended programme to work well, the digital and face-to-face elements need to complement each other. We design fully blended training programmes together with Subject Matter Experts, and then develop the various digital and physical learning materials.

m-Learning

Mobile learning (aka. m-learning) has been the 'buzz' for some time now. All of our courses and quizzes are HTML5 (i.e. can run on mobile), but true m-learning is designed to responsively adapt to different devices. We do that too.

Assessments & Quizzes

Pre-assessments are designed to detect knowledge and skills gaps. Self-tests and quick quizzes give learners a chance to check their own knowledge. And, post-assessments give management the opportunity to report on the success of a training programme. We also enjoy developing scenarios, including branching scenarios, to assess how learners respond to real-world challenges.

The standard question types (multiple choice, true or false, matching, drag-and-drop, etc.) are available, along with some custom-built possibilities.

What use is a course packed with glitzy features and great graphics, if it doesn’t actually have any meaningful and memorable substance?

The most challenging part of any training project is to plan, research, design and write the content, so that it meets the objectives of the training in the most effective and interesting way. That’s what instructional design is all about.

We are not experts in the subjects that we develop (we rely on Subject Matter Experts for that), but we are experts in asking the right questions, doing research and designing programmes that emphasise the relevant point to facilitate an understanding of even the most technical of topics.

Software & Systems Simulations

If you’re looking for software and system training that even your grandmother can appreciate, you’re in the right place. We follow a tell-try-test approach, which first shows learners how to complete a task, then let’s them try it with some guidance before testing them within a simulated environment.

Most importantly, we make sure that the “why” of doing something is just as obvious as the “how”.

Explainer Videos

Explainer videos are short, animated, informative videos that use a mixture of text, graphics, audio and energy to explain something interesting. Think of them as infographics in motion.

Video Production & Interviews

Do you need someone to film your next presentation or seminar? How about an interview or a message from the CEO or your staff? Or, what about some shots of your products and people for your next induction or training programme?

We produce videos to suit any budget, for use in courses and training programmes or just as standalone broadcasts to your audience.

Photography

What better way to put training into context than to associate it with the actual environment and products that the learners will see day to day? If you don’t have professional images for your training, we can take them for you.

Voiceover & Audio Services

Quality audio is an integral part of our projects. Most of our courses include narration that has been recorded in-house. We can also add professional voiceover to any of your e-learning projects. Contact us for samples and to find out more.

Animation

Animation can make training fun, but it is common knowledge that full motion animation can come with a high price tag. We offer some other less expensive alternatives that can tell a story or demonstrate a point without blowing the budget. Take a look at these for example.

Graphic Design & Illustration

Not only do we put our design skills to good use in our courses, but we also design print media, such as posters, handouts and brochures to help to reinforce the key points of any training intervention.

Programme Launches & Communications

So, you’ve done all the hard work to produce an incredible training programme, but how do you encourage your learners to get on board? Bridgewater Learning is on hand to produce exciting launch videos and material to help to market the programme to your audience and to send it on its way.

Online Surveys

If you can’t read minds, you could always take a more direct route and ask people what they are thinking. Get feedback on your courses, find out how your department is doing, and generally go in search of a well-deserved pat on the back with Bridgewater Learning’s online survey service.

Project Management

We have been managing Learning Development projects for many years. These more usually involve multiple stakeholders. We use a combination of ADDIE and Agile to provide both the process structure and flexibility that is required for ensuring that the job is done accurately, within budget and on time.
